Did you guys know that you can read a whopping 100 chapters ahead on the patreon?
That’s an insane amount reading ahead.

For my part I actually only do the editing shortly before uploads to keep my impressions fresh and matching your guys reader experiences.
Yeah in fact, if you read on the patreon you can get ahead and spoil me, the editor.
Wild isn’t it?

Anyway I just felt like saying that since we reached that milestone.

I made a lot of progress on writing lore and preparing the empires for my potential Stellaris roleplay game.
I have an empire using the new Toxoid theming, I’ve based them on a more extreme version of the Boron from the X series.
Ammonia breathing aliens that require extremely specialised atmospheres or equipment.

I also struggled quite a bit with creating a more unique race that wasn’t cliched.
In the end I went for an empire that is based on Star Trek’s United Federation of Planets, but if they had been founded by an alien nation without humans.
Also I made them the inheritors of some ancient technology which they hope to emulate one day.

I have to hope that I get my final payment from work in the next couple of days.
Going to be super awkward if I have to contact them about it, especially since I don’t know how to approach the matter.
Well I remember his talk at the start where he went on a tangent about employers trying to skip out on paying after workers leave.
So since he brought it up I know he won’t…
But I also wouldn’t put it past him to test whether we chase him up on it too just to see if what he said sunk in…

What a strange situation.

Amazon have been messing up a lot for me lately.
They still haven’t got a copy of the Arpeggio manga volume I preordered like a year ago now, after another month of delays.
They lost(?) my phone case I ordered a month ago and should have arrived a week ago, I will get a refund totally hopefully.
And now they have delayed my delivery of Magical Explorer to next month.

What is this? I had less problems during the global lockdown than I have had with them these few weeks.

With the release of the Stellaris Toxoids DLC I’ve decided to revisit the idea I had for a streamed roleplay playthrough.

Currently the idea is to do a playthrough of humanity (so original) but using the Relentless Industrialists feature, which allows you to pollute your planet for increased resource production.
A version of future history where we never correct our destructive ways and drive ourselves to ecological ruin, forcing us to spread among the stars to survive.

I kind of like the idea of Earth being reduced to a barely habitable, if at all habitable tomb world, and then dealing with the repercussions of that as humanity moves offworld for survival.
And if life does survive it will be very interesting debate on if Earth should continue to remain the capital planet of the empire.

Humans of the internet.
Use your psychic powers to remind me to wake up early tomorrow.
I have an important delivery and nobody will be home to accept it but me.

This is a crucial mission.
I trust in you.

I have to send off a copy of my CV after this.
I really need to update it to actually look nice but to do that I’d need an updated copy of microsoft word.
And like hell I am going to pay for their new versions with the weird subscriptions and tiers they have.

I miss the days of being able to just buy a piece of software.
The world has improved in many errors but this isn’t one.
